New images of BlackBerry Niagra 9630 surface

That’s right people, it’s getting closer. We can almost taste it now in fact. The CDMA answer to the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and Curve 8900 has just popped up in a new round of live shots, this time a bit more clear than the last round. We also get a pretty clear glimpse of the back this time around, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Apparently the faux leather on the Bold battery cover isn’t polarizing enough so RIM decided to up the ante. Yikes. What do you guys think — love it, hate it or who cares just give me a sexy new CDMA BlackBerry already?! Hit the jump for the shot of the back.

According to close sources that I know in RIM as well as Sprint, this device will be released to Sprint first if not the same time as Verizon. AT

Crackberry mentions that the protective sticker in still on the back. The print may just be on the sticker. Im sure lots of people on Big Red will wait for this BB. I know Im glad I didn’t dive into a storm!

Hmmm sorry to anyone who says this isn’t a verizon phone ur crazy the back carrys the qualcomm cdma sticker and also carries the 30 model trail which is usually the designation for cdma devices hence 8130 8330 9530 8830.

white trackball?

im pretty sure the back will not stay glossy black. when crackberry did its first review of a bold brought on ebay, it also had the glossy back cover.

No Wifi is a buzz kill based on what’s leaked regarding this model.

the back is not carbon fiber, it looks like theres a blue tint plastic cover on it that you’re supposed to peel off. after that i think its a mesh like backing with a lot of holes.

backbeat

^Just as RIM did with (p)leather on the Bold, it could be faux-carbon fiber.

@ StevenGlansburg

LOL this version of the Niagra will NEVER come to AT&T or T-Mobile duh, put 2 and 2 together. This phone is CDMA and the latter carriers are GSM. Now, if and when they decide to release this with GSM compatible hardware is something else.
